bill: explain why that is so critical in an election that appears to be razor-tight, not just nationally but in these battleground states? >> well, enthusiasm is important because voting is a voluntary act and we've seen again and again that the side that can generate the most enthusiasm and get its supporters out to vote has an edge that is worth, 1%, 2%, or whatever, of the total vote. in a landslide year that doesn't make any difference. in an election that is as tight as, you know, today's 46-45 obama-romney race, obviously it could make all the difference. bill: michael, good to see you. michael barone, your analysis from washington to our viewers. do you have a question about this? foxnews.com /americasnewsroom. shut me an e-mail, hemme hemmer@foxnews.com or. bya because you asked. we have a great question about chemical call weapons in syria. we'll put that to peter brookes. jamie: that is quite a tease. check it out. how about drones in the sigh? how easy would it be for a terrorist to take one of those over? we'll take a look at that. apparently it is not that hard. we'll have a

. >> the president is warning his supporters, it's going to be razor tight, razor close this race. more and more people are saying to me -- and i'm listening to the pundits say this over and over again -- that this is going to boil down to one thing and one thing only, that unemployment number as we get closer to november. do you disagree? >> i do. i felt this way for a year now, that it's a referendum on the economy. and as i've been going around the country, the people are very wary about what they're hearing, recovery or not, there's kind of a bait and switch going on. we seem to be in recovery in april or may and then suddenly it turns sour when you get to june. the president's had two bad setbacks in the last week. first of all, the number that came out last friday, and then wisconsin. even though he didn't go out there and get involved, it showed the muscle of the republican party. and as my friend chuck todd says, they've come to play this time in a way they didn't four years ago. >> save wisconsin. i'll get to that in just a second, though. when you talk about the economy,

so it could be razor tight. >> it would almost be the ultimate way -- the ironic way for this all to end or maybe never end. 2.1 million people voted in 2010. 2.9 million in 2008. i think what it is in between will tell us a lot. but i want to ask this about messaging for labor. labor had won the pr battle after he's reforms were sort of slammed through the legislature during that whole fight. and i look at this poll number in marquette. in january should union rights be limited? it was 48% to 47%. now 55% now in wisconsin say they should be split. in many ways the whole message war that labor was winning as the campaign has pro-degreesed arguably they've lost ground on this issue. is that a problem? >> no, i don't think it's a problem but i do think you're seeing the effect of millions of dollars being spent by the pro-walk pro-walker peel. we're talking $30 million. we're talking the democrats and the progressive movement hasn't even kol up with a fraction of that. so, clearly, the air wars have had an effect on the progressives in the state. but i think that there's been somewhat

what does that tell you in an election that is expected to be by all accounts, razor tight. >> reporter: if you look at the way romney is doing with republicans, one of the things that we were hearing about romney was that he'd have trouble uniting his party because he was seen as insufficiently conservative by many in the base. he's up to 91% support among republicans. so he's doing very well with his base, and if you add the independents in you normally have an effective majority, and i think that is the simplest and easiest way to think about this election. you can do other analyses, bill, where you factor the hispanic vote and other ethic minority votes and so on and you come up with another way of looking at it. but i think if you win your base strongly, republicans, you win your party, and you win the independents you almost always within the election. bill: that goes to voter enthusiasm and turn out, the number of people who are actually going to do what they say they will do, when they are likely voter and that is cast a ballot. here is another thing on the economy. who does a b

there is something that is going on in michigan, which is just absolutely razor tight right now between mitt romney and rick santorum. that is the fact that this is something new. santorum is running robo calls, inviting democrats to vote in the republican primary. we had the governor on, governor romney. he said this is a dirty trick. >> what he runs a robo call of my voice from four years ago saying good things about him, that's not a low moment. and when i run a call basically saying, calling democrats who are eligible to vote here to vote for us, that's a -- encouraging people to come and vote for us and we talk about our manufacturing plan and what we're going to do to create jobs, it's a very positive robo call. >> it's outrageous to see rick santorum team up with the obama people and go out after union labor in detroit and try and get them to vote against me. look, we don't want democrats deciding who our nominee is going to be. we want republicans deciding who our nominee will be. i know why obama doesn't want me to face him. but i think it's outrageous and disgusting. this is r
